Card #392: 1993 Pacific Spanish Prism #8

YEAR: 1993
BRAND: Pacific
SET: Pacific
NUMBER: 8
SUBSET: NA
INSERT: Prism
TEAM: Cleveland Indians

Prior to getting this card, I had only one of these Prism inserts.  That was Carlos Quintana for my Red Sox collection.  I like these cards.  Pacific was new to a real baseball set in 1993 and they already proved they were committed to making nice-looking inserts.

Card #391: 1993 Humpty Dumpty Canadian #5

YEAR: 1993
BRAND: Humpty Dumpty
SET: Humpty Dumpty
NUMBER: 5
SUBSET: NA
INSERT: NA
TEAM: Cleveland Indians

This is kind of an interesting oddball card.  Humpty Dumpty was a smaller chain of grocery stores.  The cards were smaller than normal cards and came in cellophane wrap.  These cards were only available in Canada.

Card #390: 1999 Skybox Thunder Rave #37

YEAR: 1999
BRAND: Skybox
SET: Thunder
NUMBER: 37
SUBSET: NA
INSERT: Rave
TEAM: Cleveland Indians

The Rave inserts were the rarest of the Skybox Thunder parallels, just as they were for several other Fleer/Skybox products over the years, such as Circa.  This was definitely a set geared toward younger collectors.
